Review & FAQ:
Located along the banks of the Rhine and dating back over 2,000 years, the city of Basel is crammed with wonderful historic buildings and more than 40 museums within a 14-square-mile area. Joining a guided tour is a great way to get an overview of the city and learn about its history. If you prefer to go it alone, you should start by strolling through the well-preserved old town and visiting the Rathaus (city hall). If you are staying in a city hotel, you will receive a Basel Card, which provides free public transport, Wi-Fi, and discounted entry to museums and other attractions. Art lovers will enjoy admiring several street art installations as well as visiting dozens of galleries.
